Computing Services and Instructional TechnologyWhen I login to Blackboard, I see about a billion courses listed from past semesters. Can you delete them for me?
No, but I'll do you one better. You can hide them from view, but still be able to access them if you need to. First, click on your "My Wesleyan" tab at the top of the page. In the "My Courses" pane, you'll see all of your courses listed. In the upper-righthand corner of that pane, there's a small icon that looks like a pencil. Click on it. You will now find yourself on a page that lists all of your courses, with several checkboxes next to each one. Go through and uncheck all of the boxes next to each course you don't want to see. Click "Submit" -- and voila! Your old courses are gone from view!
The good news is that you can still access these courses when you need to, e.g., migrate their content to a new course. If you click on the "Courses" tab, you can see that every course is still listed. This page also lists the course ID number (something like BIO-001-02-FA-05) so you can easily determine the section and session of those courses you teach every semester. (If you frequently teach the same course, you might also find it useful to rename the courses.)
At the end of each semester, we automatically make old courses unavailable to students, which hides the courses from them.
